Vacation Time :)

It feels great that I ll be leaving to my home town tonite... :) Of course,am going after more than two months.... Lot of plans ahead.... Mainly to visit most of the frnds houses.... And also waiting for the YAM at coll :) Just played TT for most of the time today.... More than half the company has already left.... And there had been vacation mood rite from monday............

Am sad to leave my LG flatron here.... Am very much attracted towards tat lcd monitor tv.... The full hd display had been a feast to my eyes from last saturday, tat am not at all usin my lap's display.... Gonna connect DTH to it by next month... For more details chk out the LG website for M227WA model :)

Also planning to watch Vettaikaran and Avatar this week.... Dunno whether I'll be able to meet all my frnds this weekend as most of them don't have annual shutdown... However, 10 days is a long time to enjoy... Will be posting more on it after I come back on Jan 4th :) I met Pravin b4 two weeks at marathalli... And upon roamin with this guy, I happened to meet few other frnds unexpectedly... Tat list included firstly Deepa(in marathalli bus stop), then my school frnds Anmol and Ranjit Matthew in brand factory, and finally vigneshwari when I was about to take my bike from parking area :) Just b4 tat week (first week of december) only I met lot of my coll frnds - a big list Ragu, sundu, sriram, baski - all four from Hyd, and our blr guys.... We went to karting tat day and then to garuda mall ( had a really good time there).... Ofcourse every week we'll be in vacation mood, but this is really different... Its one long leave in the entire year... I feel highly happy energetic and enthusiastic now.... This is really wat ppl call as vacation mood :) ;)

2009 was overall good tat I've started a career in my life... Finding my company pretty good now... Also few new joinees this month are giving me good company.. And also guys n gals from my coll and those joined along with us in june are doing pretty well and we have fun most of the time in cafe and break out areas.... Ppl are very friendly and am enjoyin every moment of it.... My team is one waste team tat none gives parties..... Of course only party given was by myself and yogesh as a joining party... (kanja payaluga) :( I wish I were in ultrasound team....

Am sad tat my frnd Yogesh is moving to other team from jan... :( He had been really a very very helping guy... Also having lot of debts to settle him.... This guy is goin for Temple Visit this holidays (Murugan Temples).... And ofcourse many ppl have their own vacation plans....

Wishing everyone "Merry Christmas And Happy New Year"

Played Cricket on Company Terrace :)

Hi... I was playing cricket after many years.... Tat too this time with my own team mates and some others from other teams as well.... I was supposedly the worst player in the team, however I managed to bowl and field well... It was extremely packed with fun, as we were playin in the company terrace :)

We defined our own set of rules for runs and also included one pitch catch and no sixes as ball would go out of the terrace.... One pitch catch let me down on two occasions... We played three matches, and my team won it all :) Wow !!

I took some 5 wickets in 3 matches, and took a good catch too (not the one pitch catch wala), the result of which I got a mail complimenting ma fielding skills :) Wat a comedy -- If some of ma class mates read this blog, esp Rama, Kv, or mouli, I ll be probably dead by this time :) ;)

Playing TT almost Daily .!!

Nowadays I am spending some 2hrs almost daily for playing TT.... Two others who would be joining me are Senthil and Si(Ma)nduja.... Senthil is completely new to TT although his learning of the game is good and fast.... Sinduja who claims herself to be a district player from some mokka district in TN, plays quite well and competes with me well... I lose to her most of the times, although till date I maintain the credit of defeating daily her atleast once.... But she puts over scene, and my aim is tat I shd train senthil so well tat he defeats her one day :)

Most important driving factor behind me playing is to reduce my so called Belly, which is protruding out in odd fashion, due to which I lose glamor... Other reasons are ofcourse fun and recreation... There has been considerable improvement on playing for past four to five days, tat my belly gone in by atleast half an inch, and I have lost weight by atleast 1Kg...

But am worried, if I can continue playing like this daily, because now I have somewhat less work to do and am ahead of my schedule.... Future will be likely demanding more from me in the sense, I may not have sufficient time for recreation... One of the challenging tasks for me will be to allocate time for these such recreation amidst work load.... However, TT has become my favorite game although I had played very little of this game in school and coll.... I believe that after few months, my mastering over the game will be terrible, as I can already see a lot of improvement over this week alone :)

Having Some Fun Finally !!

I was not in a good mood to write a blog for quite a long time... But now things have become very clear or atleast changed for good... This month, I thought will be like anyother month that I had gone through after joining Phlips - coming to office daily and doing some work, which had of late become a daily routine... But to my surprise, on Nov 3rd I got a mail from Cisco, that they invited me for a selection process...

I did not have much time to brush up my basics, as selection process was scheduled on Nov 7th... But still I made some preparations as it was one of my dream companies... I was surprised to see some 350+ crowd that has come from various parts of the country... Actually 547 had been invited like me :) I took up the written test, and myself and Vasanth had a good dealings that really worked out, that we both cleared the written... And to my surprise, Vasanth's name was called out first and my name was called out the last..., And in the meanwhile as tension peaked, I started looking door side to leave the hall, but luckily my name was read out lastly.....

This gave me enuf confidence, that I ll get through... Did the interviews well to my satisfaction, and left Cisco, with hope I ll be selected.... But after a week, it was quite a big shock to know tat I wasn't selected... I came to know this wen Vasanth told me on Nov 16th that he has got thro... Of course I was happy for him, but still I really have no Idea on this....

But when I was down for couple of days, then came a good news tat Philips gonna make me permanent by Dec 01... Ofcourse I felt happy this time... This really shows tat life like a sine wave has ups and downs, and most important of all is that let ur hopes be held high and also ur spirits... Today I feel much better, and as I am writin this blog, am getting another mail from Cisco - this time they have sent me an invitation to attend the selection process for customer associate... But I don't think I ll be taking up this time.... Because I am made permanent here, and also I always wanted to be a developer and not a customer support engineer... Even testing is kinda boring to me.... Now I feel happy to be a .NET Developer.... And the road map of my team is pretty cool, with more development activities coming in....

I think the recession that had hit the world has receded and most companies are recruiting freshers.... More jobs open in my company too... They r goin for campus recruitment to my college on Dec 04...

And to add more to the blog, this month had a dip and a peak in my life.... Now its kinda sustaining itself somewhere in a better position.... And to add even more, I played TT today for 3 hrs..... So its clear tat am having some fun finally..... !!!

Enjoyable Weekend :)

Although the start of the weekend ie., last Friday nite was quite disappointing for me as well as saturday morning (reason goes unspecified..), it then turned out to be an enjoyable one all of a sudden due to high energy tat I got on meetin ma frnds @Kodihalli/Indiranagar... Met Vineeth, Saagar, Venki, Rabbit, Koli, Jacob and Vasanth... Also guyz had 1Mbps airtel connection with wireless router, and I was chatting and browsing all the time :)

The Orange Pop I tasted in Beijing Bites on sat eve was good although I felt it is quite highly priced... However, The lunch at Continental Spice on sunday was quite a tragedy I had to face... Met Vasanth and Jacob only on Sunday eve... And Vasanth made good bargain at one of the bed shop :) I also visited their room... I returned to ma home sunday nite with Eeram movie tat I dloaded... It was an absolute Thriller and I watched it Sunday nite... that ended the weekend in a bang :)

Expecting next weekend to be packed with even more high energy as its gonna be Diwali celebrated at ma home :)

Happiness Redefined...

Hi all,

Now blogging from my friends' home.. 6 of ma frnds r stayin here - Sath, Koli, Venki, Vineeth, Saagar, Rabbit... And Rite now Koli is near me browsin Facebook... So now let me go into what I intend to write...

I had this conviction that having more number of friends will make me happy... for if one frnd doesn't care, we do have another to pass time... But of late I feel that having too many is difficult to maintain as well... And its natural tat frndship with gals had made me feel happy... But again of late I realize tat frndship with gals can't last long for they get married soon and they naturally move away from u... Simply to argue, it may be said tat frndship'll never cease to exist... But the frndly and natural behaviour tat we had with gals in college time cannot be extended after tat... Still the culture in India and parent's mentality has not changed... It is often uncommon to go to a gal's house and chat for a long time and if tat happens, ppl start believing tat they r in love...

Actually It often becomes difficult to mark the boundary of love and friendship... In a friendship with a gal, love exists... But as a matter of fact, u can't love or propose ur frnd... If U do so, most probably the frndship breaks - which becomes virtually impossible to make up... And if it succeeds, U remain happy...

The best way to remain happy is tat U don't propose ur frnd... :) The concept of making frndship with a gal, and then proposing her fails on most occasions... Sometimes U can't do it for fearing the frndship ll break... And under this circumstance U really got to be very careful... It often becomes a Make Or Break trial :) And the worst insult U'll ever face is when U want to make a broken frndship... (I mean the frndship which is broken upon proposing)...

So let me put it simply tat U carry an attitude with u - Never respect or try to think of the person who was ur frnd, and eventually U loved... Be determined to pick up someone else... One more way to escape this is U don't really befriend any gal to tat extent tat U want to care her specially... Happiness - I relate it with frnds becoz wen a spl frnd neglects u, U feel depressed... In tat way I have experiences and heard from others too.... So one way U can be happy is to make sure tat U don't expect much from ur frnds and then cry tat they didn't meet up to ur expectations...

Most films have set a trend tat only guyz shd run back of gals and after too much of a try, she ll finally accept the love.. But as a matter of fact, gals never express their love in the first place and they don't disclose their crush too... It shows they r not brave enuf and all tat they want is to lead a settled life tat their parents ll arrange them... So To be happy, U simply have to make urself happy by lessening ur expectations - Of course U can't restrict anything, still as a sine wave I find myself happy on some occasions and heavily depressed at other times... And often the cause of depression is some spl frnd not meeting up my expectations... And my q is tat Y is a gal becomin such a spl frnd?? Its better U attach less importance to such people tat ll keep u everlastingly happy......

WIN HEARTS !!

This post is in memory of last years event 'WIN HEARTS' tat was conducted in my college on oct 9, 2008.... It was such an awesome evening... Wat made this day more memorable is this - 'I was actually facing a problem with my mobile for nearly ten days... I could read a message sent, but I could not reply back... Effectively I can type the reply but upon pressing the send button, my phone used to hang, and I was literally fukin with ma phone... And this was the day I overcome the problem by installing OS in my mobile... My frnd Vasanth who is an effective hacker wellknown for his fraudulent skills, had downloaded some software for this... Also in december 2007, he had taken a backup of my phone wen I had been to his home.... And on this day, he really restored my phone back to the state it was in dec 2007...'

Now let me confess how this event of restoring the phone, the event WinHearts, the spl day Oct 9 are connected tat took me for a surprise... 'I had deleted all the msgs in my phone tat was sent by her owing to the quarrel and probs created in april 2008... But as I restored ma phone to the state it was in Dec 2007, I got all those msgs back in my inbox, which counted over 200 in her name :) - As a matter of fact, I still have some of them in my inbox !! And as a coincidence, it was her B'day :)'

And then, myself, vasanth, Deepa, and Sara enjoyed watching the show 'Win Hearts'... However I had a sad inner feeling, that I was unable to win her heart... But watever happens, tomo is her b'day again, And I am not sure how I ll be surprised this time... Certain coincidences make us feel happy... Although we know certain things are not gonna happen, a few incidents throw a ray of hope in mind, tat helps in dreaming better... But the fact is tat certain memories bring light into life tat stand vividly enamored forever:)

Worst Travel Experience :(

Last Monday Night I had to return to blr after enjoying the pooja holidays at home... I had booked a ticket in Asian Travels via TicketGoose.com... The start time was 9:45 PM... I went to their office at Gandhipuram by 9 30 PM... After lookin at my ticket, they said that the trip was canceled but however its ticketgoose problem that they allowed booking in it... Then I contacted Ticketgoose personnel... He said that the trip was canceled and they had tried to contact me for past 10 days, and my phone was switched off all the time... I felt tat its stupid to argue with them... Also I had only given them my blr number, which of course I was not using wen I was at home...

Then I made up my mind to travel anyways.. All the buses to blr were full... So I just jumped into a govt bus to Salem... Some useless movie was going on in tat bus, and it disturbed my sleep to a great extent.. As a matter of fact I had lot of disturbances - A baby in the near by seat was crying all the time, and no sufficient leg room, and after the movie was over, they were playin some age old songs in high volume, which was literally screwing my ears :(

I reached Salem by 1 45 AM and to my surprise, the bus stand was highly crowded and as and when the bus arrives, it gets filled in the sense that I had to hurry in jumping into the bus to get a seat... I tried in two buses in vain, and succeeded in the next attempt but managed to get a seat only in last row... Thoranai movie was played in this bus, but I had no mood to watch as I was very sleepy... Seated in the last row, I was bouncing all the time, and the chill air from the back door was highly an irritating one :(

I reached Hosur by 5 45 AM and immediately got into a bus to blr... Reached Silk board by 6 40 AM... Then I waited sometime in outer ring road to reach my place - Hebbal.. It took another one hour for me to reach home at 7 45 AM.... And because of this awful travel experience, I was sleepy for the entire day but managed to stay quite awake in office.... As I left office by 6 30, I started sleepin by 7 and got up by 7 today as I got a call from my home :)

Moral Science !!

Well, I was thinking for a long time as to what should I post next.... Suddenly I went back to my school days when I was studying standard nine... That was of course our adolescent age too :) And to add fuel to the fire, our Moral Science book had two interesting chapters - 'Sex and Marriage' and 'Boys and Girls'......

The first chapter discussed about the reasons for a marriage... Although I felt that it was too early to have a lesson on marriage, I can relate most of it now and also I feel I can relate much more based on other practical sources... There are many people for whom the ultimate aim is to lead a settled life... Even I was influenced by such feelings when I started my college life... But of late, the things have changed... I realize that I am younger than many of my colleagues who are themselves not married... It literally means, I have nearly five more years to concentrate on my career and try to enjoy the bachelor life as much as possible :)

The second chapter was indeed fun, and me studying in a boyz school, then realized the need for a co-education :) It discussed in detail about the frndship between a boy and a gal and how the same may turn into a love or some 'matter', and what will be the cause and result of all this - Don't say a baby ll be the result!! Those were really the days we attained maturity, and these lessons really shaped us, if not atleast it brought out some interesting topics for discussion in the class.... These lessons were taken by one our lady staffs, and I could realize tat it would've been very much embarrassing for her :) The point that I would like to add is that I missed many things as I studied in a boyz school, but at the same time, we had a lot of freedom in discussing things... Nevertheless, those void spaces were filled in college :)

Also, my essay on adolescence was greatly appreciated in one of the moral science tests... And now being an adult am proud tat I ve overcome those period with caution and now its really time to engage in some fresh professional activities and of course foresee and dream about future :)

Two Impressive Looong Msgs...

It will be quite rare to receive long text sms... I would like to post two such sms that I received in my college days that impressed me a lot...

1) "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the voxpopuli, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose,so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V"
— V for Vendetta

2) Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

The first quote was sent to me by Raghu, and I really found it difficult to understand.. And even today its the same... May be some GRE aspirants can explain me :) I am yet to watch tat movie V for Vendetta....

The second quote on love is quite a sad one... People of my age(esp guys) who can call themselves experienced can actually feel this quote... This was sent to me by Sundar(The Renowned Lover) during my second year... But because I am experienced, I suggest not to hate love, instead try to hate that unworthy person whom u loved :) Love is immortal, in the sense that at any point of time there will be someone with whom u can show love or atleast u can find one soon :)... Have the hope tat Better options are alwayz available :) Don't ever hate LOVE :)

5S !!

This 5S helps to organize the workplace, and here in Philips, they insist on this... These words are Japanese... Remembering these five words can be difficult compared to following them :)

No Msgs :(

It is quite a sad thing and quite unusual that my incoming message count for a day is almost zero for quite a number of months... :) During my college days, I used to get on average some 30 to 40 msgs per day, and I ll be sending some 80 to 90 msgs :) Last December, when I chose a plan for my mobile in blr, I chose the student plan which has daily 100 free msgs and 1 rupee rental... But soon I realized that I don't need any free msgs now, because none sends a msg to me and I have nothing to forward as well :( A considerable set of my friends are in blr now.. Almost all of them had chosen a plan where msging is not free... :(....

The fact is tat people are more interested in cutting the std rates and none bothers about the local sms... Infact, messaging trend in the college no more exists when u start living a professional.... :) However, I ll change my plan in few months as the current student plan of mine is gonna expire in less than three months....

The days where we would be messaging non-stop, having the mobile under desk during class hours are passed away.... Ofcourse I remember my class ladies (Abinaya...) who'll keep on msging, having their mobile inside the purse on the desk :)

I Cooked Pasta :)

It was a completely different experience for me when I cooked a dish on my own, last friday night :) It was Sunfeast Pasta :) I added some 250ml water to tat pasta and the taste-maker inside in a satti... Then i cooked it for 10 min, for the pasta to become ready :) It was really delicious to eat :) Agu agu :)

This Weekend!!!

This weekend altogether was packed with fun along with tiresome travel time :( Went to home after a long time of 2.5 months on saturday morn... Then I left to Karaikudi to attend Lakshmi's marriage on sat nite... The ticket to karaikudi was booked by Malathi, whom I actually met in Lakshmi's marriage.... It was around 5 AM when I reached Karaikudi... This Yogesh made a mess on saturday by not getting the gift for the marriage (Tat job was assigned to him)... He went to Kandasaamy movie and called me tat he has no time to get the gift....

Somehow I managed to get the gift around 7 PM.... When I was really feeling tat "If Pravin is available, I can take him along to buy the gift", it was gr8 to meet Pravin on sat evening.. I immediately took him along with me to purchase the gift and then, we also had ice cream at Bon Bon :) (Dai Doggie, This is the fourth time Am sponsoring u in Bon Bon - Beware Tat next time its gonna be ur treat) Infact I never expected to meet pravin on this weekend... :)

In the bus, I was seated near one of the HoDs, Mr. Natarajan ( Infact our placement officer too)... They were also coming to her marriage... Also some MSc. Softie juniors were also coming... (Actually I agreed to come in tat bus, expecting some softie junior gals to come:(.. But only junior guys came... Disappointment).. Lakshmi - Organization sari illa.... ;) Anyhow I had a nice time in mandapam... :) Sinduja who also came to marriage with her parents, left so early not even giving a pose for the photo :)

We left the mandapam by 1: 30 PM... We had booked train to blr from Trichy... As we found nothing interesting in Karaikudi, myself, Senthil and Yogesh just walked to Karaikudi bus stand... We reached Trichy by 4 PM... This is the first time am going to Trichy And as soon as I got down and was walkin down to the Rly Station, it started raining heavily :) I was ready for it with an umbrella :) We reached Rly Station which was just near by, and by tat time Yogesh was fully nananjufied :) It rained so heavily tat in junction 'kooraya pichutu mazhai Ooothuchu' :) It was also raining heavily this Friday nite, when I was waiting for Coimbatore Exp... :)

We had to wait 4 hrs in the rly station for the train... It was very very boring and we were also feelin damn sleepy.... :( It was around 7 PM tat Sinduja came to station... Then we had dinner in some cafe near the station... Loosu Sinduja who promised to buy us sweets in Adayar Ananda Bhavan, emathufied us :( Anyhow she brought some sweets from her home :) Finally we reached blr by 6 AM today morning... And me Still feeling sleepy after 3 days continuous travel.. :(

Two Years b4 - On this same day...

It was quite a very sad day for me altogether..... Not today... Am going back by two years.....

It was a fine Sunday.... Everything was going fine.......... Suddenly around 2 PM, got a call from her... She told tat she'll not talk to me thereafter... At tat time I was in a hurry to leaving to my CCNA class... So I didn't speak much... After the class was over by six, I called her again... Actually I was feeling tat it was a small issue, tat things ll resume normal in sometime.... But tat was not the case.... She spoke to me rather rudely and cut the call this time.....

Now its over.... Not the prob tat was b/w us, but the relationship tat existed... the frndship tat existed.... But Still its hard to say tat Love doesn't exist.... :)

Hard feelings... Again Past memories.... Sometimes unsweet too :)

Batch Day - AUG 17

I shd have posted this yesterday... But Still... I got vetti time now only to write a new post.... As I was searching for a topic, I decided to write about my feelings on this batch day as it is the first batchday tat we can't celebrate as we r out of coll now... :)

Every BAtchday, we use to Cut a big Cake in the IM gallery and we'll be having fun :) But this time staying away from college makes me feel how I miss those dayz..... It would be worth mentioning that even the last batch day was not celebrated with full attendance... :( , which is a sad thing again... Wat I want to convey is that - I consider batchday as one of the important day that can be celebrated with frnds (say in blr) or those of us native of cbe can take have a kinda getogether in cbe itself on independence day or we can plan something ahead of time........

I also feel to say that it was on second batch day in 2007, that I took video of someone spl to me in my mobile and that had created some prob too :) Actually tat person was lookin awesome in de saree and also she walked quite in a weird way with her torn slippers :) Anywayz tats past memories... sometimes unsweet too :)

For batchday 2008, we had been to Sath's house warming function and later in the afternoon, we celebrated Batchday :) It was quite a memorable day....

Let me wish once again Happy Batchday 2009......

Am I Appreciated???

First let me ask u this question, "Are U appreciated in ur work u do??" Some managers really appreciate u for a small work done, and someothers never get a kinda satisfied, although u put in a lot of effort.... In case its time for u to get a promotion, and someone gives a kinda negative feedback on u (despite u workin really hard), it would be one of the most bitterest moments faced in life.... and it has happened to me too early is wat I feel :(

The point I'd like to put is this, based on the my experience over the past week, 'In a corporate world, ppl r very different..' Not all Team leaders are good(although they appear to be) - The point is Don't be Deceived... It had happened to me tat I was given a kinda negative feedback by my ex-guide, which has put me in a different team now, but for now am determined to be normal and put ma kinda hardwork to prove myself here....

My guide who was really friendly to me had given this unexpected comment on me, and it had kept me off during the last week....

To answer this question "Am I appreciated??" - Yes I was ofcourse getting appreciations in the past, but it is very crucial at this point to predict the future.... And as I alwayz say, "Hope for the Best and Plan for the Worst" - Let me follow this strategy despite delivering best performance....

Helping a Frnd !!

Am Highly happy today for I could help my frnd Senthil to Catch his train in time :) He just asked me to drop me at Banaswadi station by 4 15 PM... We started hastily and as we approached Banaswadi station around 4 45 PM, the train was standing there.... As we went close to the front of the station, it started moving :) Finally, he got down from bike running and got into the moving train (Without takin a ticket!?!?)

It has been a wonderful experience for me although I won't go like him to catch the train in last moment ever :)

Ethayum plan panni pannanum :) ;)

Twist Again....

For some reasons, am not getting into MR this time..... Some bad news struck me earlier in the day, and am expecting tat I ll be put in someother team b4 the day is through........ Can't feel secure regarding this job even for a day :(

F*ked up Completely :(

Back to MR !!

The bootcamp was finally over and projects allocated today and am quite happy as I am put in the MR team, where I did my Intern...... Certain good news are on their way........ Expecting much more to come...

Poor Driving :(

Yesterday was quite a bad day for me... Started very early and reached office by 8:30 AM... My frnd Senthil forgot to copy the code in his pendrive... So we had to go to his home again.... I was driving hastily.... The road was in its worst form, fully muddy and hard rocks(jalli)......... The application of disc brake in a slopy turn made me fall down and landed up hurting myself and my bike too... However, escaped with minor injuries.... My first accident at bangalore... :(

To add oil to the fire, the code tat we brought in pendrive, never gave the expected output and we were combating with it till afternoon.... After a good lunch(homemade noodles :) ) , things starting rolling in our favour.......... And towards the end of the day, got scoldings from my mom and dad for falling down in bike :(

These things are not new to me :) ;)

India - On a hat trick defeat :(

It is severely disgusting to watch India loose in all the Super 8 matches.... Watchin the matches upto 1 15 Am - and India loosin in tat match - guys do u imagine u could good sleep after tat?? Literally 3 nights went almost sleepless :(
Wat happened to Indian battin line up yaar??? F'ked up completedly :(
The gr8 hero Dhoni, was experimenting with Ishant Sharma again and again even after his poor performance against WI... I was damn confident tat India ll atleast win the yesterday's match against SA.. But tat too turned out to be a disappointment... :(
Cricket is our religion... We shd consistently prove ourself... Otherwise its stupid to call ourselves by the so called term "Defending Champions"
But still am a fan of Indian Cricket.... The true sportmanship lies in the fact tat U support the team and watch the matches even if India doesn't perform well... Tats true Indian.... Lets hope we win the upcoming series against windies :)

Classroom Training in Company

Just today, the training started for me... After several months, undergoing a classroom training... The session was interesting... Although many C++ concepts were familiar to me, nevertheless I ve forgotten most of them... After being done with placement preparations in Aug 2008, I didn't touch up with C and C++... I would like to express my gratitude towards the code gurus - Ragu and Sundu of my class who are also gr8 frnds of mine :)
Also wen I was taking notes today, it was difficult for me to write with a pen... I fondly remembered of my class gals ( Deepa and vaishu), who would take notes tat the entire class would follow... Anyhow I took notes today, but am sure tat I myself wouldn't be able to make wat I ve written :). Know wat, until 3rd sem or 4th sem, I was also a sincere fello who would take notes(ofcourse only myself will be able to understand them). From third year, I felt it better to study from deepa xerox, the standard text book for us...
The comedy today was Lakshmi's notes was taken photocopy by a guy :)
This training however indicates that learning is a continual process and its there wherever we go, the difference being I pay the tution fees in college, while company pays for me to listen here :)
This difference is crucial in the sense that, the companies expect even more from us....

Movie @ PVR

Although I had been in Bangalore for so long, only today I really felt like going to a movie here.... And today I finally ended up watching 'Maasilamani'. This Tamil movie was just released yesterday and its quite a good entertainer although there is not much of good story line behind it...
Watching shows @ PVR really rocks.... In Cbe, if I wanna go for a movie, I ll usually start 15 min b4 the show starts... but here I had to leave b4 2 hrs... bcoz, Forum is nearly 30 Km away from my place :(
After going to movie, we went to Big Bazzar nearby and were doin some shoppin there... Then unfortunately it started rainin badly wen we were dining at Spice Corner... We did not get a bus wen we were waiting for it in Silk board... Atlast we had to come by vajra - BIAS volvo bus around 11 PM although we had taken a 30 rupees daily pass.. Reached home by 12 AM :) So guys, don't roam around in blr after 10 Pm if u are dependin on bmtc buses.. Autos will never come if u don't give them double the meter (soodu vecha meter) ... No night service buses... Any how all these are good experiences in life.... Volvo buses rock yaar...

Starting to live a Professional !!!

Hi frnds... am back to start blogging again... Its one week of Employee Orientation Programme, that I ve gone through in PIC.... Lot of changes over past two weeks... Got a sudden call from my frnd on june 2 nd that PIC called us to join on June 8th instead of July 06 - which was almost shocking to me... Had planned for one month long leave - A South India tour - Believe Me :) The worst part of this is that am still designated a project trainee and expecting to become employee b4 jan 2010.... But then, the next day was my graduation day - June 3rd, which was a very enjoyable day tat almost marked the end of my college officially...

Now this EOP is also over... Just today got some vetti time to blog.... I was busy attendin Presentations - You shd be knowin wat one does listenin to ppts:)

Next week Boot camp - the 6 week trainin program starts....

Now am a graduate, and a professional too..... Hoping to match up with the professional world... and prayin tat Philips shd do better in next two quarters for my job to become permanent here :)

Last Day of Intern @ Philips

Am very happy, tat am gonna get nearly two months of vacation from today... :) Towards the end of internship, I had really very less work... The works are ofcourse half done, but my team mates here will take care of the proceedings... I needn't worry:) And overall it has been a good experience here... Ll be back to the company on July 6th, with loads of new and fresh energy in store :)
Gonna shift to newly rented home tomo... :) Works ahead....

Election Day @ TN

Ooops !!! I am unable to vote this time... :( Last week only went to cbe. Again for this one day, I never felt like going back to cbe. I wanted to vote for our captain... Anyhow my one vote not gonna make any difference - But this should not be the attitude. Every vote counts... I ve voted twice so far... So definitely from next election I ll make myself available to vote or atleast use the postal ballot system...

My dad is posted as Proceeding Officer in a booth near Sulur... Hope his booth is safe and no violence takes place :) Just walk out and vote for the day... Enjoy ur franchise...

Still My School Frnds...

The close frnds in my school days @ Lisieux are still my close frnds... My frnd Pravin Karthy is one guy, whom I ll be meeting almost daily while at coll. This guy was doin ECE from CIT. We almost discuss all matters of interest and roam in bike at RS Puram... Other frnds Saravanna Siddharth, Genuine Jacky are close to me as well...
Missin them so badly after coming to bangalore... :(

Internship @ PIC

The internship at Philips Innovation Campus is a fine experience... I stayed with Senthil, CSE dept. He has been a nice frnd, and I miss him now for his intern ended last week itself.. :( Basically am doing debugging kinda work in Visual Studio .NET platform... Its nice to work with new technologies also to gain expertise in software field. Although I am basically ECE ian, as I ve already foreseen, there is little use in me takin ECE when it comes to the matter of my job profile. Planning to do higher studies in CSE domain. Yet I like ECE subjects mainly wireless, networking, and digital communication systems.

Another character worth mentioning is Pearline Muthu, who is from CSE dept of my college doing intern at PIC. She seemed to be a very calm gal, but later when she became frndly to me and Senthil, she was extremely funny and naughty... We'll be missin her if she doesn't get a convert here...

I spent most of the time debugging, visiting irctc, ksrtc for ticket booking and online all the time... One saddest thing is bangalore being other state, I can't phone to my frnds at cbe unnecessarily... But bangalore is really cool, and currently me stayin near Forum :)

We'll be passing comments on almost everyone workin in the company :) And the times spent at breakout area having latte and hot chocolate were hilarious.. ;-) Cafeteria started boring with almost similar kinda weekly menus :( I was happy to leave as intern on 30th April itself, but it got extended 15 more days... But now a little happy coz, I don't ve much work now... Just doin backup of work and knowledge transfer.... Also I could spend time usefully by blogging :)

My College Life - Gonna Miss it forever :(

The most Happy Days of my Life :) A memorable period in everyone's life... A good mass of gr8 frnds, lovely times spent with my frnds, studyin for internals, and sem exams, Bhel poori, hot chocolate @ coll canteen, GD's, placement preparations, interviews, written tests, waiting for results, a frndly tussle with frnds, college day love, rallies, friends treat, all lunch times - All in my memories and I wish these never fade away.....

Yet another reason tat I started blogging is this - To post my college day memories, let my frnds read them and share memories......

The day I came for Intern literally marked the end of my college.. but it officially ended on May 09, a few days back.. I really had a very good time at Impact lab writing slam books of my friends. We had a photo session at IAB, lookin forward to get tat photo wen i go back to cbe... College became really interesting towards the final year... I really had lean times earlier in third year for reasons known to ma frnds, but was able to overcome all of it. Bulk of the credit goes to my close frnds esp deepa, sara, rama, ragu....

CGPA - never posed a problem for I consistently maintained it above 9 - A decent one for a boy :) My sem exam preparations from fifth sem was mostly with Sathappan, a fun lovin guy (at times pretends to be serious). We had gr8 times studyin with GCT lib books, and worth mentioning standard Text book - Deepa notes Xerox :) Still have good bundles of her xerox at home :)

And I have a lot of hope tat I ll be in good touch with all my friends and thanx to gmail, orkut for the same .!! I do realize tat happy days are over :(

My First Blog...

The blogs of my friends inspired me to create my own blog.. Also there are few other reasons behind me starting to blog - I ve a lot of vetti time at company for now, which I ve now determined to use blogging. First of all, I was against blogging as whomever visits your blog knows many things about you, of course not asked for..... But now, I feel there is no harm in anyone knowing about me and my views... Here I start blogging with lot of courage, hope and expectation tat posting my views, opinions, and my personal experiences will be a nice past time to myself and for the reader...

The journey starts here :)
